About

The Stanford-MIT Elections Performance Central (EPC) project was first developed to address the challenges facing election administration in the United States during the 2024 election, and continues through the 2026 election.

We aim to do this through academic research assessing how the American election administration system responds and adapts in light of the major disruptions administrators have faced since 2020. Through this project, we also aim to promote best practices to ensure American elections can proceed with integrity and equal access.
